What will you be inspired to do?

World Values Day is an annual campaign to increase the awareness and practice of values around the world.

Values are what matter most to us. They motivate and guide us. They are the passion in our hearts, the reason we do the things we do. 
 
In a world that feels increasingly divided, values help unite us. They are the glue holding together our communities and societies. They reflect our common humanity. They are powerful.
 
The theme for this year’s campaign is Values and Volunteering. Let’s use our values every day to
make our world a little bit happier and more connected by volunteering and being of service to others in
whichever way we can.
 
Volunteering is choosing to put our values into action, without compulsion or expectation of reward. It
doesn’t need to be done in a big organised group (though that’s good too) but can just be a small
unprompted everyday act of thoughtfulness or kindness.

How to Get Involved

Choose a Value

Choose a value that’s important to you. Are you really living that value to the full?

For help in choosing your important value take a look at our Values Guides.

Act on that Value

Put that value into action. Make it a bigger part of your life. Think of a way to do something good for others.

For inspiration and ideas on how to do this take a look at our Values Guides.
